Senior biology major Carling Rootes isn’t your typical student. This UTB/TSC soccer player is far away from her Canadian home and ready to receive her diploma.

“Being away from home for the first time was definitely difficult and coming to a new culture … trying to adjust and also playing soccer, takes a whole bunch of time,” Rootes said. “It was a big struggle the first few years.”

Rootes explained that what helped her get through was that she was able to keep in contact with her parents by phone and via Skype.

When it came to soccer, she looked for help and advice from fellow upperclassmen soccer players.

After five years of being in college and playing soccer, Rootes is ready for graduation.

La empresa estadounidense Space Exploration Technologies Inc. (Space X) está considerando la posibilidad de construir en Brownsville una plataforma de lanzamiento comercial que enviará al espacio al cohete Falcon 9 y a la nave espacial Dragón.

En la reunión del jueves pasado, la Comisión Municipal de la ciudad de Brownsville aprobó una resolución que expresa su apoyo y cooperación con la empresa.

Brownsville es una opción gracias a su cercanía al ecuador, dijo Gilberto Salinas, vicepresidente ejecutivo del Consejo de Desarrollo Económico de Brownsville.

Salinas dijo que ahora es más fácil entender por qué la ciudad está a favor de este proyecto. Entre más cerca esté el cohete al ecuador, más rápido se puede enviar al espacio.

“Los lanzacohetes deben de construirse lejos de áreas pobladas y cerca del agua”, dijo él.

Opinion

  • Letters to the Editor
    Capitalism doesn’t equal democracy   This is a response to the April 30 letter written by Ezequiel Berrones [“In the eye of the beholder”]. Berrones argues that democracy’s “opposite would be a dictatorship, socialist, Marxist and communist forms of governments.” He says this is because those forms use “an all-powerful, centralized government.”   One problem with Berrones’ argument is that even if democracy does have a logical “opposite,” the four…
